If anyone has this fix, here's another interested (and frustrated) party.

When I create a new message in Outlook 2007, the line spacing is regular
single spaced with no extra vertical spacing between paragraphs. When I
reply, however, it seems to randomly (haven't been able to identify a
pattern yet) set the "Spacing above" and "Spacing below" to "Auto," which is
greater than 0. If I manually set it to 0, then it's fine for that message,
but the problem will recur in a future message.

2 Questions:

1. How does Outlook choose the form or template for a Reply?

2. How do I fix this so it always uses the form I want (in my case, no extra
spacing)?

Thanks,
Colin
